Context for the ratings: these are XHP track-day tires. I got over 45 days of HPDE (3-4 hours/day) of heat-cycles on my last set. The tires wear nicely, heat up well in one lap on Road Atlanta, and grip well above 1G in may areas on tracks here in the southeast.

My rear inner tire tread peeled right off exposing all the wires in the tire. Only lasted 9k and straight line traction was okay but handling was good.. until it fell apart!
I have these in 215/40R17. Like other 200TW Summer tires, they are plenty sticky. However, they are very fragile. The tire overheated and the tread pealed away on the outside corner. Yes, I probably should have more camber on my car. But we are talking about a Hyundai Elantra with an automatic transmission. There is very little acceleration. And the damage was done in a single 20 minute session at Thunderhill West. The 595 RS-RR was a much more robust tires. I can't recommend this tire for track driving but it might be good for autocross.
